Penn State and Ohio State entering the unknown
The Nittany Lions enter the second season of Division I hockey by opening Pegula Arena. That isn’t the only new thing for Penn State. Playing in an actual conference, along with facing two teams (Minnesota and Michigan) for the first time, leads a list of firsts for PSU.
Although Penn State went 3-2 against the Big Ten last season, defeating all three of its opponents at least once, having a full conference slate is different. The unknown of how Penn State will react, or how the second year of a program will go, is fascinating. There are so many options.
